Cobbled walkways and roads were common to frontier posts.
Forts were established on a grid system with a central parade ground and
tree-lined walks and roads. From the new hospital this road passed the row
of officer's quarters, went between the enlisted barracks and commissary,
then traveled toward the shops and stables

Restored Post Well. A source of adequate water for themen and animals was all important to the
location of an army post. This well was dug by
soldiers who then lined the walls with rock and
stones. Other sources of water included barrels
to catch rain water draining from the roofs of buildings and nearby
streams or rivers such as the one located to the west of the fort and from
which it gets its name: Fort Washita!
